B-36

Thanks found this text http://www.air-and-space.com/castlb36.htm

"One of a pair of retractable turrets, each equipped with two 20 millimeter cannon. The turret door slides down the side of the bomber to expose the two turrets. There is another pair of turrets on the forward fuselage and a third pair on the lower rear fuselage, below this pair. The gunners occupied the plexiglas bubbles. A mechanical analog computer calculated the direction to point the turrets, taking into account the necessary lead angle and the displacement of the guns from the sighting blister."

So four turrets up top and two at the bottom, and one at each end

Just for the record the and I guess that I didn't mention it before but the door for the lower turrets is sealed.

But with a little kit bashing it could be opened.

I was reading that on take-off a lot of the crews use to have the forward upper turret hatches open just in case of a accident so the crew just behind it could escape faster.
